An Adventurous Colombia Itinerary: 10 Nights in Colombia (Over the Christmas Holidays or Year Round!)
If you’re looking for somewhere festive during the holidays, this Colombia itinerary will have you traveling through Bogotá, Medellín, Cartagena, and Tayrona National Park!
Colombia goes all out with lights, music, and celebrations that rival the holiday vibes of Europe… Except here, you don’t need a winter coat. The streets stay lively, almost everything is open, and you get the best mix of city adventures, island escapes, and incredible food along the way. From Bogotá’s plazas to Medellín’s famous Christmas lights and Cartagena’s warm nights, Colombia makes the holidays feel special.

Tips for your Colombia itinerary
- Plan this trip around Christmas leave: fly out December 21 to arrive in Bogotá at night, and return December 31 for a NYE flight in the sky or add a night to spend NYE too.
- Be sure to spend one Sunday in Bogotá so you can experience car-free day, when the streets are closed to cars between 10am–2pm.
- If you visit during the holiday season on your Colombia itinerary, as we did, be aware that it gets increasingly difficult to get restaurant reservations on December 23, 24, and 25. Sometimes restaurants are open but may close early. Make sure you book in advance if you want something specific and confirm they are open. Dec 25th is the hardest day for restaurant reservations, so we chose to fly between cities that evening instead. You may want to do the same.
- Book popular restaurants at least a month in advance.
- Book flights in the late afternoon so you have almost a full day to explore before moving on.
- Use Uber to get around in cities rather than “official” taxis.

Day 1-3: Bogotá
Book 2 nights at Masaya Bogotá
Day 1
If you arrive in the evening to start your Colombia itinerary, as we did, then you immediately get a taste of the nightlife in the Old Town!
From the airport, take a taxi to your accommodation. While it’s generally recommended to use Uber in the city, we opted for an authorized airport taxi since the Uber wait was about 10 minutes. It cost us 65,000 COP, which was definitely overpriced considering Uber would’ve been around 40,000 COP.
We stayed at Masaya Bogotá, a great option right in the middle of the Old Town. From here, we could easily walk at night to the plazas for the Christmas celebrations and get a taste of the local nightlife—it was lively and fun. Despite being in the center, the rooms were quiet and clean. In December, I did find it a little chilly since there was no heater, but for most people, it should be totally fine.

In the evening, head to Plazoleta Chorro de Quevedo. The plaza is still lively at night with people drinking in the streets, playing music, and hanging out. You’ll find people of all ages enjoying the atmosphere. There’s also a small pedestrian road lined with restaurants and bars. Stop into a bar and try chicha. Chicha is a traditional, indigenous, fermented corn drink. There are several different flavors, and some bars will offer you a sample. Try it!




If you’re arriving late, you’ll still find plenty of food options open until around 10 pm.
We ended up at Origen Bistro, which had a lovely courtyard and was the perfect spot to start our trip.


Day 2
Try to plan your trip around a Sunday in Bogotá during your Colombia itinerary. Sundays are when part of the city goes car-free, and it’s such a unique local way to experience the city.
Morning
Have breakfast at your accommodation. Then, wander around the area.
The street art around Masaya Bogotá is really fantastic, with lots of great street art.



Then, experience Bogotá’s famous car-free Sunday by renting bikes from Bogotá Bike Tours (reserve the bikes on whatsapp – they open at 8 am, but we didn’t manage to get in until 9am).

You can ride on your own like we did, or join one of their organized 4-hour tours (twice daily). I love doing tours like this early on as they cover city highlights, give local recommendations, and set the tone for your stay. So, even if you don’t visit on a Sunday, still plan a bike ride for your morning.



Once you’re comfortable on the bike, ride up to the Usaquén Sunday Flea Market.




It’s easy to wander! Just stroll up and down the streets to check out jewelry, clothing, coffee, food, and local goods. We tried a no-sugar lulo juice, some coffee, and an arepa.




On the way back, take Carrera 7, which eventually becomes a pedestrian street that is bustling with activity. Try a pandebono or pan de queso filled with guava from one of the street vendors… so delicious!



We stopped for another fresh juice, street fruit, and explored another smaller flea market.

Return your bikes to the shop. We returned our bikes back at 12:30 pm.
Afternoon
Next, head to the Gold Museum. It looks massive, but it only takes about an hour to explore. The intricate jewelry, ceremonial pieces, and goldwork are stunning. Outside, there are street vendors selling souvenirs.


Afterward, get lunch at the famous La Puerta Falsa Restaurant. It’s known for its Sancochos and Tomales, and it’s said to be the oldest restaurant in Bogotá.
Then walk over to the Botero Museum, dedicated to Colombian artist Fernando Botero, famous for his exaggerated, oversized style. The museum also features works from Picasso and other well-known artists that were gifted to Botero. It’s quirky, fun, and worth visiting.




The money museum, Museo Casa de Moneda, is right next door and is free, so walk into this as well. Most information is in Spanish, but it’s interesting to see the old coins.
There are several cafes around here, so pop into one if you’re in need of coffee!
Evening
In December, Bogotá comes alive with Christmas events. We stumbled upon a light show in Plaza de Bolívar. For us, this was totally unplanned and magical. Rather than leave things up to chance, the city also has a full Ruta de la Navidad program of holiday events, so check their website for updates in advance to check out parades and activities for the evening.




As you wander around the square, keep an eye out for Aromática stalls. These mobile stands sell a warm infusion of fruits, herbs, and a dash (or more) of liquor. Every stall makes its own version, and they’re delicious.


End the night with dinner at Restaurante Banquete Tradicional Colombiano. It looks touristy, but the food blew us away: peanut-stuffed empanadas with an amazing sauce, a fresh fish dish, and the best coconut rice I’ve ever had. In Colombia, coconut rice is different than what you may expect. It’s caramelized with coconut cream so you get gooey, crispy bites of coconut in each bite.




Day 3
Morning
Hike or take the cable car up to the Monserrate Sanctuary, perched high above the city. The views from here are spectacular. I have to admit this was on our list, but I was feeling sick that day on our Colombia itinerary, so instead we slept in and skipped it. Don’t be like us! Many friends have visited the city and said this is their highlight.
You can hike up (about 1.5–2 hours) or take the Taquilla Monserrate Funicular. Another option is to use an organized tour like this with tickets included.
Back in town, check out the Gabriel García Márquez Cultural Center. When we visited, there was a weaving exhibit in the basement and a small bookshop. The center doesn’t have much to do with the famous author, but you’ll find a section of his books in the shop.

Then, walk toward Plaza de Bolívar, stopping to browse shops and street sellers along the way.



Emerald Shopping
Bogotá has excellent gold and emerald jewelry. The Emerald Trade Center has a collection of different shops where you can pop in and out.
I bought some beautiful pre-Columbian-style earrings at Joyeria Innovación. Across the street from Joyeria Innovación, and further down, there are several other jewelry shops worth checking out.



Most gold and emerald pieces cost upwards of $500, but if you’re into jewelry (emeralds, gold, or looking for a fancy gift) I definitely recommend splurging here. We were told that the better emerald gems are only used with gold, and that the lower-quality emeralds are used with silver. The pieces are unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. I was looking for pieces like this in Peru earlier in the year and didn’t find any, so I was really happy with the earrings I bought.
Outside the Gold Museum in the plaza, men sell mostly uncut (and some cut) emeralds. These guys aren’t official vendors, but they work in the mines and are probably carrying thousands of dollars’ worth of stones. I can’t say if they’re trustworthy or not, though several seemed to be doing business, but to an untrained eye, I’d recommend buying from a shop where you’ll get a certificate.
If you want to visit the Emerald Museum, make sure you bring your physical passport with you. We didn’t bring ours with us, so we didn’t end up going.
Afternoon
Have an early lunch (around 12:30 pm) at La Perseverancia Distrital Marketplace. This market hall was featured on Netflix’s Street Food: Latin America in 2017! There are several stalls where you can try different dishes, from fresh fish to soups.




We ate at the Netflix-featured spot, Tolu, and had the mote de queso.



After lunch, walk down Calle Bonita.



Head back to your accommodation and get a late afternoon flight (5 pm, if possible) from Bogotá to Medellín. This will allow you to have almost a full day in Bogotá.
Other things to do in Bogotá and day trips
- The Salt Cathedral is located about 1.5 hours outside of the city in Zipaquirá. You can go on a day trip with transport to make the most of your time.
- Go on a Bogotá Food Tour that has tastings at 10 different locations, or check out this one.
- Colombian coffee is amazing, and you can go on a farm tour to see how coffee is harvested and made on this tour
Day 3-5: Medellín
Book 2 nights at Celestino Boutique Hotel
Day 3
Evening
Take a taxi from the airport to your accommodation. We chose to stay at Celestino Boutique Hotel, and I really loved the location on a pedestrian street with lots of cafes and shops. It was lively; however, when we checked in, we were warned that many people complained about the noise from the street. I think this will depend on where your room is located, but we didn’t have any issues. The hotel opts to only charge you for 1 night instead of all your nights upfront so that you can change your mind. Maybe bring earplugs in case. Our room also had a noise machine in it.
Head out for dinner. We had a nice dinner at Restaurante La Provincia at 8:30 pm. We were able to drop off our bags at the hotel and then Uber again to the restaurant. If you are at a hotel with a nice restaurant, this is a good option as well.



Day 4
Morning
Have breakfast at Urbania Calle 8, a cool café with great options that seems popular with expats. Honestly, if we lived in Medellín, I’d probably come here all the time…



Keep an eye out for some street art along the way before taking the metro to Plaza Botero.

At the metro station, you can buy one card for two (or more) people because you only pay as you swipe into the station. Load it up with enough money for however many people you are. There are machines where you can purchase the card, or use the information kiosks. Sometimes, the credit card system doesn’t work so you’ll need cash.
As you exit at Parque Berrío, it’s quite the experience—the market is set up underneath the metro rail, and while it feels a bit chaotic, it’s definitely a vibe.

Then head to Plaza Botero, which is dedicated to the famous Colombian sculptor Fernando Botero Angulo. His signature style, known as Boterismo, depicts people and figures in exaggerated, oversized volumes that are impossible to ignore. The plaza is lined with his sculptures, and they’re both hilarious and impressive.




One of the most famous is a massive horse sculpture, though my personal favorite was a huge man sitting on a tiny horse. You can spot his works all over the world. I’ve seen one in Baltimore at a hotel!

Around the plaza, you’ll also find two museums: Museo de Antioquia and the Palace of Culture Rafael Uribe. Unfortunately, during Christmas, some of these museums were closed, but if they’re open during your visit, definitely go inside.
From there, walk over to Parque de Bolívar to see the statue of Simón Bolívar and the Catedral Metropolitana de Medellín, which is quite an impressive church.


Have lunch somewhere around the plazas. I’ve pinned some suggestions in the guide, like Restaurante Hatoviejo Centro or Tienda & Cocina Vegetariana).

Since the plaza museums were closed when we visited, we instead took an Uber to the Modern Art Museum, which was open. We spent about an hour there, and I really enjoyed the exhibits, but would have preferred to visit Museo de Antioquia, as planned. So, if you don’t have time for this museum, it’s okay!




Afternoon
Sign up for the Comuna 13 Graffiti Tour with Street Food at 4 pm or experience the area by yourself. Comuna 13 was once Medellín’s most dangerous neighborhood, controlled by drug cartels, gangs, and guerrilla groups through the 1980s and ‘90s. Because of its hillside location, it became a battleground between the army and the gangs. The scars of that history are still present, but the community has transformed itself into a vibrant graffiti, music, and art scene.
You can read my full review.
You can absolutely visit Comuna 13 on your own… and honestly, I think I would have preferred that. That said, there were definitely some benefits to joining a tour. We had more food options included in our ticket, and because it was raining, the food vendors stayed open just for our group (they probably would have closed otherwise). The tour lasted about three hours and included some local history, plus the highlight: a super fun, personalized rapping experience that made the whole thing memorable.
Eat enough snacks while on the tour so that you don’t need dinner!
Evening
Every December through January, Medellín transforms into one of the most magical places in Colombia thanks to its famous Christmas lights. There are food stalls to grab snacks while you enjoy the displays. Just arrive before 8:30 pm since security stops letting people in, and plan on taking an Uber for the easiest trip home. Check out my post for all you need to know about visiting.
If you’re still hungry (and it’s Christmas Eve), then look for a falafel/shawarma restaurant—the Muslim run businesses are likely open. We went to Restaurante Árabe + Urban Kebab House.

Day 5
Morning
Pack up your things at leave them with the hotel reception before setting out for the day.
Start the day with breakfast at one of the many cafés along Carrera 37. If you’re staying at Celestial Boutique Hotel, this is extra convenient since all the best coffee shops and brunch spots are right on this strip. Check out the shops too.





Afternoon
Arví National Park is such a fun way to spend a few hours in Medellín during your Colombia itinerary. The journey there is half the adventure (even though it’s very easy). From wherever you are in the city, take the metro and then transfer onto the cable cars (funiculars) that go all the way up to the park.




Just load up your MetroCard with enough credit; we found Google Maps and the station maps super easy to follow to get to Arví. A round trip to Arví park cost us 34,700 COP in cash, each.

When you arrive, there’s a small market with snacks and souvenirs at the entrance.

You’ll also get a short introduction from a park guide before setting off on your own. There are several walking trails, but since we had a flight later in the day, we only did the short 1 km hike.

It was still enough to enjoy the scenery. We passed a quirky headless sculpture, a few viewpoints, and even a little vegetable garden.






After our walk, we grabbed some fresh fruit before taking the cable cars back down.

Have a quick lunch near your accommodation and pick up your luggage. From there, head to the airport for an early evening flight to Santa Marta. We took the 5pm flight, and it was perfect timing to spend the afternoon exploring the park, getting lunch, and then flying out.
Other Things to do in and around Medellín
If you have a full day in Medellín, then check out other things to do:
- Guatapé Tour: Just outside Medellín, this town is known for its colorful buildings and charming cobblestone streets. Climb the 740 steps of the Piedra del Peñol for stunning views of the surrounding lakes and hills. This tour includes a boat ride offering a panoramic view of Pablo Escobar’s Hacienda.
- Get dinner at OCI.mde. Make a reservation far in advance to get a fine dining taste of Colombia.
- Go on a coffee tour by horseback with lunch. Or, do the tour without the horses.
- Spend some time at the El Castillo Museum and Gardens.
Day 5-6: Santa Marta
1 night at Masaya Santa Marta
Day 5
Depending on when your flight arrives, you’ll likely spend one night in Santa Marta on your Colombia itinerary before heading into Tayrona National Park.
We flew into Santa Marta, which is the closest airport to the park via Medellín, so an overnight stay was necessary. Masaya Santa Marta is an easy hostel/hotel option, and they can also hold your luggage for a few days while you’re in Tayrona.

Evening
In Santa Marta, walk along Callejón del Correo for dinner. Santa Marta really comes alive in the evening — the restaurants, bars, and cafés are full of energy. We went to Lulu for dinner, but there are tons of options to choose from. We originally wanted to go to LamART, but it happened to be closed the day we visited. It’s one of the top restaurants in Santa Marta though, so definitely try to check it out. Afterward, wander up and down Carrera 3 and stop by Plaza de Bolívar.


Day 6-8: Tayrona National Park
Book 2 nights at Hotel Arrecifes Refugio Natural
Day 6
Morning
Wake up early and head straight to the bus stop in Santa Marta to catch a bus to Tayrona National Park. The bus station is here. Just ask around for which bus is going to Tayrona.

You should only bring what you need for a 2-night stay, as you have to hike with all your belongings into the park for a few hours.
We got to the bus stop at 7am, and the bus left around 7:15 am. Tickets cost 9,000 COP each. The ride was quick and easy, just about 30 minutes to the park entrance.
At the entrance, you’ll need to register and pay for your entry ticket plus the mandatory health insurance (the cost depends on how many nights you’ll be spending in the park).
Read everything you need to know (costs included) for visiting Tayrona National Park.
Hike to your accommodation like EcoHotel Yachay, Ecohabs Tequendama, or Hotel Arrecifes Refugio Natural. Check out my blog for more recommendations.
On the way in, stop at the bakery Bere Panadería. It’s a must on your Colombia Itinerary! See if they have the famous chocolate bread available, or grab one of the cheese-and-tomato pastries. The juices are great too.



Afternoon
For lunch, head to Cevichería La Arenilla, a little stall along the back edge of Playa Arenilla. It was honestly the BEST ceviche we had on our trip: super fresh fish, and the vegetarian version with mango and coconut was really great too.

In the afternoon, head to Playa del Cabo for swimming, lounging, and a beer. This area is very popular because of the campground — you can rent tents here or bring your own.
Playa del Cabo is also famous for the hut perched on top of the rock. You can climb up for hammocks and views, or just admire it from below like we did.



There are always vendors selling beer, so grab one and watch the beginning of sunset. I don’t recommend walking anywhere in the dark so head back to your hotel area before the sun totally sets.
Evening
For dinner, visit one of the many restaurants on the first beach, Playa Arenilla, if it’s not too dark. Otherwise, have dinner at your hotel (like we did).
Day 7
Morning
Wake up and have breakfast at your hotel. Honestly, the breakfast at our place was pretty lame, but it was the only option.
Pack a day bag and head back to Playa del Cabo for a morning swim. This beach gets super crowded, so I recommend arriving by 10:30 am to snag a shady spot.

Afternoon
Go back to the cevichería at Playa Arenilla for lunch (yes, again… It’s that good!).
We spent most of the afternoon just relaxing, but there are other activities available, like horseback riding around Playa del Cabo, if you want something different.
Evening
For dinner, head back to Playa Arenilla and pick another restaurant. We ate at El Rincón de Faby and loved the fresh fish.
Day 8-11: Cartagena
Book 3 nights at Casa India Catalina (This was a good price at $90/night, but I didn’t love it. Try Casa del Curato in the old town or Casa Morales in artsy Getsemaní).
Day 8
Morning
Enjoy a lazy morning and take a dip in the water.
Then, start your hike back to the park entrance.
Be sure to stop again at Bere Panadería and get a chocolate bread (or two, or more…) at the cafe. This is a great spot to pick up some snacks for the ride back to Santa Marta.
Afternoon
Take a bus back to Santa Marta once you reach the park entrance. Just ask around at the front gate for when the next bus is arriving. We waited around 20 minutes and didn’t plan on taking a specific bus as they typically run every hour.
Once you arrive back in Santa Marta, head back to your hotel to pick up any luggage you left behind.
Then get an Uber to Berlinas for your transportation to Cartagena. You’ll need to show your passport or ID, so have that handy. The bus was air-conditioned and very comfortable.


We took the 2:30 pm bus and reached Cartagena at 7:30 pm. The ride was comfortable and easy. It didn’t make any stops. There was a little bit of traffic while in Barranquilla, so I expect that if there is more, then it will affect when you arrive in Cartagena.
Hot tip: If you sit on the right side of the bus, when you enter Barranquilla, you’ll pass the sculpture of Shakira! (Barranquilla is her hometown!). It was pure luck when I looked out the window and saw her statue.

Evening
Once you arrive in Cartagena, order an Uber as there’s nothing convenient around the bus stop.
As you enter the city, especially in the evening, you’ll likely hit a bit of traffic heading into the old town. Depending on how many bags you have, you can always get dropped off nearby and walk in yourself. Our driver was friendly and took us as far as he could; eventually, we reached a pedestrian-only area. The city is SO alive at night — it felt incredibly energizing to arrive at that time.
Check in at your hotel. We stayed at Casa India Catalina , a simple hotel for our mid-range budget.

For dinner, we went to Mama’s Pizza since it was close to our hotel. Head to the rooftop for a fun vibe, or try one of the many restaurants in the area (my guide has tons of pinned spots I found while exploring).
Day 9
Morning
Have breakfast out (or at the hotel if it’s good).
Our breakfast at Casa India Catalina was the saddest during our Colombia Itinerary. It came with some fruit and scary-looking boiled and fried hot dogs, hahah. It was an experience. There are so many interesting cafes around that it’s not worth eating a lame meal in Cartagena.

Go shopping! This is such a fun city for browsing. Pop in and out of the different shops (you can find all my recommendations in my offline guide). It’s easy to do tax-free shopping in Cartagena. Just show a picture of your passport and use the same credit card for all your purchases. While inside the airport, before security, there are kiosks where you just scan your passport and tap your credit card to get the refund. It was so easy.
- Ábaco Libros y Café – A dreamy bookshop-meets-café. There’s a whole Gabriel García Márquez section
- Agua Bendita – Colorful Colombian swimwear and resort clothing. Pricey, but the designs are unique.
- Soloio – Wilhelm and I were both obsessed with the linen clothes. I bought a fun pair of shorts and Wilhelm bought some shorts, shirts, and shoes!





Stop for a coffee anywhere that looks cute. We grabbed a quick cold brew at La Garza Café, and it was sooo good.

Walk around the different plazas and see the Christmas decorations and art.




And check out the La Serrezuela Mall. The top floor still has a relic of an old theater, which is worth seeing even if you’re not in the mood to shop.

Afternoon
Head to the artsy Getsemaní neighborhood.





Start near Café del Mural — their coffee menu is as creative as it gets (try something iced with spices or fruit).



Walk down Calle Tripita y Media. This street is packed with colorful murals, hanging umbrellas, and photo spots. The whole neighborhood is an open-air art gallery — just explore and see where the streets take you (or download my guide for all my Google Map pins).






For lunch, head to La Cocina de Pepina for local Colombian flavors. You might have to put your name down and wait 30–40 minutes (we did), but it’s worth it. We ordered a few small dishes and loved every bite.




Then, head back into the old town and check out a museum or two:
- Museo Naval del Caribe – Focuses on Cartagena’s maritime history, pirate attacks, and naval battles. Most of the signage is in Spanish, but it’s still easy to follow and very visual.
- Museo de Cartagena de Indias – Great for understanding the city’s colonial history, the role of the Inquisition, and Cartagena’s fight for independence.



Evening
Grab sunset drinks at El Baluarte San Francisco Javier, a popular spot along the city walls. Even if it’s cloudy (like it was for us), the views and vibe are fun.


Walk along the wall edge.

After sunset, check out Santuario de San Pedro Claver. During Christmas, the church is lit up with festive lights! And walk to the main old town entrance that’s lit up too.



Snack your way through the evening. If you had a late lunch at La Cocina de PepinaI then you may not be hungry for dinner (we weren’t). Instead, I recommend grabbing some chili mango from a street vendor for a sweet-and-spicy treat. Or get some ice cream.
Day 10
Morning + Afternoon
A day trip to the Rosario Islands is a must on your Colombia Itinerary! Check out my full post about it. There are quite a few different transport and island options, ranging from party vibes to exclusive, peaceful escapes across the island chain. For something calm and relaxing, go to Coralina Island.
If you have extra time, plan to spend a night at Coralina Island Hotel. The day trip wasn’t long enough to fully enjoy everything — from massages and lunch to snorkeling and kayaking.
Evening
When you get back to Cartagena, stop for a refreshing lime juice from a street vendor.

There are several small entrances into the old town so take one you haven’t used before. The one we tried had some beautiful pottery stalls.



We also browsed a few emerald shops. Pendants start around $700 USD, which was a little steep for me, though I did find a gorgeous emerald ring I was tempted by… Though the prices and quality were better in Bogota than in Cartagena from my experience.

Continue wandering through different stores, like Casa Abba – Gallery-Boutique for jewelry.



Treat yourself to an ice cream at La Palettería.



For your last night, make a reservation well in advance for Celele — it’s a fancy spot with unique Caribbean dishes featuring wild-harvested and rare ingredients. It’s made several “best” lists, including The World’s 50 Best Restaurants (see here). Reservations book up months in advance.
If Celele isn’t your vibe (or you couldn’t get a reservation, like us), just wander and see what catches your eye. We were craving pasta and pizza, so we went to Benito Italy. Honestly, you can’t go wrong. There are so many great restaurants in Cartagena. Don’t feel limited by my Colombia itinerary suggestions.
Day 11
Head back home!
You may need a full travel day as part of your Colombia Itinerary, as most international flights require going back to Bogotá first.
However, if not…
Morning
Have breakfast at Libertario Coffee Roasters. The coffee is fantastic, and the breakfast menu is solid.



Take a stroll through Parque del Centenario; if you’re lucky and keep your eyes up, you might spot some sloths!


Wander down Magdalena Street and admire the colorful doorways.


Enjoy one last lime juice…


Afternoon
Get lunch at Bozha Café Bar for ceviche and fresh fish dishes. I really enjoyed this as our last meal.




Evening
Head to the airport for your flight home and wrap up your Colombia itinerary.
If you’ve done any tax-free shopping, stop at the refund kiosk before security. It was so easy to get our refund, just make sure you used the same passport and credit card for all purchases.

Other Things to do in Cartagena:
- To see the most of the Rosario Islands, go on this 5-island tour or this 3-island tour.
- Go on a sunset cruise.
- Check out the unique Totumo Mud Volcano on a half-day tour.
